Entry: Adolescence: A Heresy Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_case_against_adolesence#10736 Post contents: 1)The "Civil War" was not fought over slavery, it was fought "to keep the Union together". Lincoln never explained why it was important enough to expend 600,000 lives and millions in ta tax dollars to achieve that end. The anti-slavery card was played 18 months into the conflict to justify the northern invasion and to keep European powers out of the conflict by portraying it as a moral crusade. This was pure politics, much the same as Bush playing the "we want to estabish democracy in the middle east" card that is being used to justify the damnable invasion of Iraq. 2)In fact the individual is the basic unit of the family. It is child labor laws, drinking age laws, compulsory education. laws etc. that undermine parents and undermine family units. These laws do postpone adulthood for teenagers. Sent at: 2008 12 01
